Active research interests

  • Bushnell-Kutzko types and explicit constructions of supercuspidal representations
  • the Bernstein decomposition for enhanced L-parameters for various enhancements
  • the Plancherel measure and the local factors that are conjectured to express it

Outside of my daywork, I'm pretty open-minded and like to hear what others are working on.

About me

My last name is pronounced "shween". It rhymes with "clean", unlike the German pronunciation. In one-on-one interactions (e.g. email, conversations) you are welcome to just call me "David".
